Reader Reviews:
This is a reference manual, not for begineers. (0/0 people found this helpful)
The other review is a bit unfair. In no way does the book tell you it is a guide on setting up web services. It is to get you up to speed on the internals of how web services works. You are expected to have some minor level of knowledge before reading the book.
If you are planning on using web services, unless your getting under the covers there are better books out there. However for what this book details it is well worth the money and is a must if you plan to study for the SCDJWS exam.
Oh no it isn't...... (16/16 people found this helpful)
Rather than a guide to Web Services, this book is more of a reference to the technologies that comprise the Web Services specification. In depth and detailed dissections of the Java APIs for XML (SAX and DOM2), JAX-RPC, JAXR, SAAJ, UDDI and JAXP are welcome as are the discussions of the structures of XML, schemas and WSDL.
However, anyone looking for a primer into Web Services would be better served by another book, as this one has almost no information about the actual creation of services are examples to show how this may be achieved. This book does not even cover Apache Axis let alone implementations by BEA, IBM or Oracle, and for a book that bills itself as the "Ultimate Guide" that is a cardinal sin. This is nothing more than a reference book for those already involved in writing Web Services. A better choice for beginners would be "Beginnning Java Web Services" [Wrox](although that is better not the best).
This book suffers from an erroneous title. As the "The Ultimate Guide to Web Service API's" it would have been accurate and superbly comprehensive, but as a guide to Web Services it falls far short.
